A few months ago my wife finished Chemo for ovarian cancer and we thought we were winning. The symptoms have recently come back and the last scan was pretty ghastly. We are about to try again with another chemo drug as we can't use the one that was effective before as it's too soon after the last treatment.
It's all rather frightening, and I'm having to force myself to go on.
It's making her a lot more hot tempered than usual, and she's always admitted to being a fiery redhead. My mind knows that I should ignore it, but my soul just wants to shrivel up and hide.
Got to go on whatever happens.
Hi TimeEnough
Sorry to read about your wife and the impact this is having on you both. Certainly can relate to the idea of wanting to hide, I think that was probably what drove me in to Maggies that first time and starting to off load the emotions I could no longer contain.
Glad you managed to share on here, many will recognize where you are and if you need a quick fix remember the helpline is available to you to talk to someone - 0808 808 0000 8am-8pm everyday. I have mostly cried at them before too but it we stick together we can be the best possible help to our loved ones.
<<hugs>>
Steve
